Five solution tracks leading to Nordic carbon neutrality
If the Nordic countries are to reach their climate targets the rate of emission reductions must increase fivefold compared with the previous decade. Stronger grids, increased flexibility, large scale deployment of wind and solar energy, electrification of transport and CCS are all decisive factors to reach Nordic targets.
Pressure-time method test rig operational at LTU
The pressure - time method is a discharge measurement method commonly used to estimate the flow rate in hydro-power plants to assess the turbine hydraulic efficiency. The method needs further development for application to low head hydraulic turbines where the intake cross-section is not constant.
Tax Reduction for New Technology
This year, the much-requested investment support for solar will be replaced Tax Reduction for green technology. The new deduction gives private individuals a tax reduction for material and labor costs. Amelia Oller Westerberg has investigated how the costs are distributed when installing solar cells on a residential roof.
Further steps taken to improve power quality and smart grid diagnostics
What are the root causes and the direction of power quality disturbances? Using machine learning-based methods the Gothenburg startup, Eneryield, has developed new ways of analysing these disturbances. Here you can read about ways in which this method can be made accessible for grid-operators.
